YKK AP Launches Upgraded Fire-Resistant Door
YKK AP Corporation, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has announced the launch of its newly renovated fire-resistant product, the "Door Remo Entrance Door D30 Fire Door," certified by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. This innovative door will be available from September 22, 2025, and aims to provide homeowners with enhanced safety and aesthetic choices in door replacements without the need for extensive renovations.
This renovation focuses on revising the basic structure of the door while expanding the design and color options significantly. Notably, it now accommodates installation in non-wooden homes, thus meeting the increasing demand for fire-resistant doors in residential renovations.
The upgraded "Door Remo D30 Fire Door" employs a cover method that allows homeowners to replace their doors in just one day without damaging external walls. Anticipated shipment figures for the door in the 2024 fiscal year are predicted to reach 117% compared to the previous year, reflecting a growing consumer interest in enhancing the safety, usability, and design of their entrance doors.
The rise in demand stems from various customer concerns regarding entrance doors, such as worries about security, difficulty in opening locks, and outdated designs. Additionally, upgrading entrance doors in urban areas often requires adhering to strict fire safety regulations, leading to a mandatory installation of fire-resistant doors in certain buildings. Unfortunately, the current market offerings have been limited in design variations compared to non-fire-resistant products, prompting some homeowners to forgo essential upgrades. In response, YKK AP has made significant updates to its fire door offering to meet customer desires for both safety compliance and design appeal.
Key Features of the Renovated Product
- - 41 Design Options and 12 Color Choices: The newly redesigned main door now boasts 41 styles, up from the previous 9. Customers can select from a diverse range of designs including natural, chic, simple, and elegant aesthetics to enhance the overall appearance of their homes. The addition of 11 styles of ventilation doors allows for ample natural light, creating a warm and welcoming entrance even when windows are not an option in smaller urban homes.
- - Vast Customization Possibilities: With equally varied choices for the secondary door, which comes in five non-transparent and six transparent designs, users can perfectly match their entryway styles. The revamped color palette increased from 7 to 12 options, offering nine wood tones and three aluminum hues for a broad selection.
- - Functional and Versatile Designs: By standardizing the basic structure with non-fire-resistant versions, this fire door allows for flat installations, enhancing compatibility with urban homes constructed post-2000, and extending its use beyond wood structures.
- - Smart Control Features: The new offering includes an AC100V smart control key that enhances door handling convenience, linking to doorbell systems enabling remote unlocking and monitoring.
Conclusion
The "Door Remo Entrance Door D30 Fire Door" represents a significant advancement in the realm of door renovations, addressing safety, functionality, and design preferences. YKK AP's commitment to expanding choices for homeowners while complying with fire safety regulations is evident in this comprehensive renovation. With a target sales amount of 500 million yen for the fiscal year 2026, the company is poised to capture a larger market share in the home renovation sector.
